Get Ready for Huge Obamacare Premium Hikes in 2017

Yes, the number of hospital beds is decreasing, not increasing. The doctors offices are merging into larger networks (including my own primary care physician's office). Many doctors offices are closed after mergers and moved to multi-doctor office complexes. The number of doctors is only increasing in specialities (which is where the money is at now). The number of nurses is about even in most states across the last decade, not increasing greatly.

It is hard to make a case that Obamacare is increasing the number of healthcare suppliers or driving a more robust healthcare system.

I blame the AMA. We've known for forty or more years now what would happen when the boomers reached old age. Why wasn't the supply of doctors allowed to increase (by creating classroom space and admissions, apparently)?
 
It's awfully coincidental that these massive hikes will occur after the election.

Prediction: democrats will blame them on the insurers and use them to demonize private insurance.
 
I am really tried of these idiots who get to vote for idiot shit and then they attack those of us who think straight with every device in the propaganda book. I am not talking about ricter but every other leftist drone on here and the media and the establishment traitors on the hill. We all told you obamacare was garbage.

If the media were fair Ted Cruz would be President right now. Even, the republican leadership sabotaged him.

Not sarcasm, and I believe I've mentioned it at least twice before. Where is the big infrastructure spending we need, and now when borrowing is so cheap? I truly believe Obama has failed in not making this clearly +ROI move.
 
The whole thing was a fraud from the start.
They promised that it would insure the uninsured and the rest of us would pay less money.
That was a lie. We pay more money and it didn't even insure all the uninsured. So it failed. That is the very definition of a failed initiative. It's turning health care into a real smoking ruin. But there are no serious efforts to do away with it. Why? They just double down and tell us to pay more.

Now, the next step in the screwing is being discussed. The elimination of bronze plans. These are the plans that cost the least and give the least amount of coverage.

ObamaCare Insurers Considering Dumping Bronze Plans
PJ Media-May 6, 2016
By Stephen Green May 6, 2016 ... rate increases they need to stay solvent --- are looking to save money by eliminating so-called Bronze-level plans. ... If insurersdo drop their bronze plans, it would have the effect of further destabilizing the ...


They're not losing money on these bronze plans. Rather they are losing money on the silver and gold plans and they want to force healthy people out of the bronze plans and into the silver and gold. Healthy people must be forced to pay more money.

If it neither lowered cost or covered the people they said it would cover, it is a fail. Yet we still have it.

The country is on the economic decline. It's all a farce.
